Reggie Ashworth releases AppDelete Lite 3.2.2 – Uninstall Anything

Anaheim, California – Independent software developer Reggie Ashworth today is pleased to announce the release and immediate availability of AppDelete Lite 3.2.2, a major update to his very popular application deletion utility for Mac OS X available via the Mac App Store. With a simple Drag & Drop, AppDelete Lite will uninstall anything along with all of the associated items. Mac users will no longer have to hunt through their system to find and delete these items manually.

You can drag any item that can be uninstalled onto AppDelete Lite: Applications, Widgets, Preference Panes, Plugins, Screensavers, etc. You can also activate AppDelete Lite in many ways: dragging items onto main window, onto dock icon, selecting in menu, dragging from Launchpad, and throwing items in the trash. When the preview screen appears you can uncheck any items you would like to exclude.

You also have several choices: delete the items, log only the items, or archive (copy) the items to a .zip file for safekeeping or reinstall at a later date. The items you delete will be moved to the trash and arranged in a folder so that you can see exactly what was deleted and you know exactly where it came from. The items will not be removed from your computer until you empty them from your trash. Note: items requiring an administrator password must be deleted manually to comply with App Store guidelines, but this can be done quickly by clicking the pathname links in the AppDelete Lite Info panel, revealing in Finder, and moving them to the trash.

Version 3 has been rewritten and redesigned to take advantage of the latest technologies and to provide the best experience ever. In Version 3.2.2 files that don’t require an administrator password can be deleted automatically, and the Delete button has been re-introduced to accomplish this. All of the Help files are now completely localized and there have been a number of overall localization edits and updates. The status bar on the AppDelete main window now updates during processing which can be beneficial for people using Universal Access. There has also been major improvements when searching for apps by Kind, along with all-around searching improvements. An issue where AppDelete might not give notification sounds has also been fixed. Finally, there were other miscellaneous optimizations along with a new icon.
